Well Saturday is coming to a close and it was a day of politics again. Even though the major media pretty much overlooked it, there was another caucus today. This time in Wyoming, which is the first state to actually elect a the delegates for the national convention. The delegate count are as follows according to the Wyoming GOP website:
Mitt Romney 8
Fred Thompson 3
Duncan Hunter 1
Then there are 12 alternate delegates elected in case 1 or all the other delegates can't make it. Those delegates went as followed:
Romney 5
Uncommitted 4
Thompson 1
Hunter 1
McCain 1
As we count down the 50 sates it is Huckabee 1, Romney 1, Paul 0, Thompson 0, Gulliani 0. Who will when the coveted New Hampshire delegates? We will find out come Tuesday.
Interestingly no President has been elected President without when the New Hampshire primary. That is until 1992, when Bill Clinton broke that streak. He was followed in 2000 by George W. Bush, who also lost the New Hampshire primary but still won the office.
